An Indianapolis man is facing serious charges after prosecutors say a stream of threatening and explicit social media messages targeted Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham and eventually crossed the line into criminal behavior.
Kevin Singh has been charged with stalking, intimidation and harassment after what authorities describe as months of escalating online activity.
What prosecutors say happened
Court documents reviewed by investigators indicate Singh’s social media behavior started ramping up in February and grew more alarming even after team security reached out to him.
In a statement to WIBC 93.1 FM, Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears stressed that “threats and harassment, whether online or in person, will be taken seriously.”
Prosecutors say the messages directed at Cunningham contained sexually explicit material along with direct threats, which triggered the criminal investigation.
Arrest and prior conviction
According to WIBC 93.1 FM, Singh was taken into custody on June 22 and formally charged the next day with stalking, intimidation and harassment.
Court records reviewed by the station show Singh is currently on probation in Hendricks County after pleading guilty to two counts of invasion of privacy.
Second high-profile scare for the Fever
This is not the first time an Indiana Fever player has been at the center of a stalking case. In July 2025, a Texas man, Michael Lewis, pleaded guilty to stalking and harassment involving Caitlin Clark and received a sentence of roughly two and a half years in prison, according to The Associated Press.
That earlier case highlighted how online harassment can morph into criminal conduct and pushed local officials and the team to treat threats against players as serious safety and security issues.
How Indiana law views online stalking
Under Indiana’s stalking statute, a “course of conduct” involving repeated or continuing harassment that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened can qualify as stalking. Targeted social media posts are treated as “impermissible contact,” according to WomensLaw.org.
Depending on the exact charges and any prior record, stalking and related offenses can be charged as felonies, and the stakes are even higher for defendants who are already on probation.
What happens next
With charges now filed, Singh’s case will proceed through Marion County courts, where a judge will set pretrial dates and any release conditions.
In the meantime, local law enforcement and team security are continuing to monitor threats aimed at players as the legal process plays out.
